highers choice help- swapping art for spanish

So for S5 im doing higher maths, english geography modern studies
and art. However I am considering swapping higher Art for Spanish as I dont plan on using art and I want to go down the more academic route- going to uni to do either politics, geography, IR, maths or economics. I am also unsure whether taking higher art would hinder my chances of getting into glasgow/edin/st andrews. For N5 I got A1s in both subjects.However, one of the reasons I am hesitant to take spanish is I have slow processing speed and dyslexia and im scared I wont be able to meet higher quality. Also that its quite late into the year to switch classes.

Should I keep art or switch to spanish?

The Scottish unis will be looking at the number of highers/grades. Have you checked the entry requirements for the courses you are interested in? Do any of them have particular subject requirements that would suggest you should swop? If not then I'd suggest sticking with the subjects you think you'll get the best grades in. Your personal statement will also be important.
